Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of the Abbasid Caliphate, which was a powerful and influential empire that spanned across much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 8th to 13th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its preservation provides valuable insight into the economic and social history of the region.
